Hi denita_468,
You did it changes on your computer before this problem?
In order to diagnose the problem, you can check the updates failed to install in the Windows Update site:
a. click Start, click all programsand then click Windows Update.
b. on the Windows Update Web site or on the Microsoft Update Web site, click view update history. A window opens that displays the updates that have been installed or that have failed to install on the computer.
You can follow this link and check if the problem persists:

I get "upgrade to the latest version of Firefox" messages on my iMac, even if I downloaded the latest version several times. I'm afraid to click on the update message, because it might be spam/virus/whatever. Mozilla tells me that I downloaded the latest version of Firefox successfully. How to stop messages from appearing?
Hello!
Thank you to get in touch with us here at Mozilla's Support. I'll do my best to help you.

I see that you are running Firefox 25.0.1. Our latest version is the version of 26. But Firefox should display this update constantly. The screenshot is necessary so I can see if it's a legitimate link to Mozilla.

XP installation update every time I turn the computer off.
I don't know what happens, whenever I turned off my PC (running Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002, SP3) for the last week or so, it is said that it will install an update, if I disable normally. I mean, click the button, it installs and turns off, and then the next time that I turn it off, it happens again. 1 update every time, I let it run all along, just as I always before.

Updates every time I stop.
Daily for 9 days, when it's time to stop, I allow to install a windows update. And then it takes about 12 to 15 minutes until that ends, all on the screen that says "do not turn off or unplug your computer.
I'm running Windows 7 32-bit Home Edition. According to the center of my action, there is currently no updates to install, but I assume that as soon as I stopped once again today, they tried to install another update (with a shield icon yellow of small windows on the button closure).
Why can I not get new upates daily, if not twice a day?
Thank you very much!

Probably most of those which are updates which are stuck in repetition.
guess that part of the question could be a driver which is really old or similar should not be loaded.
This exit Windows updates on (after you have access) and stop the updates of the driver to load.

I get a message pop up every time I start the Explorer about the AOL toolbar
I don't know if this link posted, but I stuck again here:
http://ImageShack.us/photo/my-images/641/screenhunter01nov082256.gif/
This is a screenshot of a message that I always get when I start Explorer. This message appears twice, but the screen comes up and once again (same message) when the window opens, but before my home page is displayed. My home page is supposed to be Bing.com, but I think that the Explorer wants to take me to AOL.com. (I think that this version of the browser has been optimized for AOL).
I want to get rid of this message. I uninstalled AOL Toolbar, but that has not worked. So, how can I get rid of this message?
Contact AOL support and ask them how to remove their browser.

Re "pending" error message emails every time I close the Windows mail site
Even if I put all my options to send messages immediately, whenever I close my e-mail window (after sending a message) I get a notice saying that I sent messages and asking if I want to send them now. Why this keep happening. When I check in my folder SENT, the message has been sent and yet I still get this query whenever I close the site. I appreciate any help I can get. Thank you
I will try to run my software "System Mechanic" and see if they find something. I found this software to be very good.

I was struck by a virus hiding all my files and slowed down my right to the computer. Ive got everything, but because the virus struck, Vista must update every time it stops. Looking at the history of the update, the "update for Microsoft Silverlight (KB2526954)" update failed to install. Ive also had problems with ATI Catalyst Control Centre doesn't opens and downloads via Firefox does not open because the temporary file could not be found. Scanned with 4 types of anti virus, anti-malware and anti-spyware. Any ideas?

I can't open Firefox. Home page comes up, I get just the reporter Crash asking me to restart/quit but every time I do the same message always comes back. I was not able to use Firefox for days now.
In recent days, we have a lot of crashes with Trusteer report. If you have this program, try to disable it and see if that stops the noise.
You can stop the report by using the Start Menu > programs > Trusteer report > report stop
You can ask their helpdesk when a version update of their products will be available or, if you do not need this software, uninstall.
http://www.Trusteer.com/support/en/report-problemIf you do not report, so we have a crash report ID. When you send a report of the Mozilla crash puts it right in a gigantic database. We have no way to seek without the ID of the report. I don't know what the problem is without searching the crash report. Please get the ID of your last report of the accident report.

Firefox continues to try to update each time I open the browser, and it then puts a message saying update failed. It does this on both of my computers. We already have the latest version, the other does not. How can I stop Firefox to do this?
If there are problems with the implementation at day then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and remove the Firefox program folder to remove all remaining files.
Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.
- Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible.
- Do NOT remove the data of a personal nature when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data, because all profile files will be deleted.
Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
- It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.

When I try to download the update of windows I get an error code every time: 802440F. Can you please help me solve this problem?
@ Evanston only!...
You see the effects of a hijackware infection! If you had used the computer longer, I might recommend trying to detect & remove infections. But it would probably take a week or two and I'm sure you have better to do with your time right now so I would recommend the following (which shouldn't take any more than two hours of uninterrupted time).
See...
Cleaning a compromised system
http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspxPersonal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!
HOW to do a clean install of Win7: see "using the custom installation and formatting the hard drive option" (or "reinstall it Windows 7") http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7 article
NOTE: If your computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install (AKA a "destructive recovery").
After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of EVERYTHING on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external drive to the computer otherwise:
4 steps to help protect your new computer before going online
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/pypc.aspxVERY IMPORTANT! -Online free trial Norton will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the removal tool again Norton before installing updates AND BEFORE installing your new application antivirus (for example, Avast5 or Microsoft Security Essentials, free).
Tip: Do not install Spybot again; It's really overkill in Win7 my humble OPINION, especially if you are installing Microsoft Security Essentials.

If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility.

Original title: Windows Update keeps reseting
My computer had a mandatory update that began when turned on. Happens to the last step of the update every time, it goes to the "starting Windows" and then it all comes back to the update. Turn on the computer and then next turn has not changed anything either, and I can't after that.
Hi Reilly,
Thank you for the update on that.
Please follow the steps in method 1, by our Support Engineer Ganesh Achar B replied on 12 February 2015 on the last response.
If you are able to start the computer in safe mode, take note of the number of KB updates which fails to install.Also you can restore the system in safe mode.
Check out the link below to perform a restore of the system.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/system-restore
Warning: System Restore affects file system of Windows, programs and registry settings. It can also make changes to scripts, files, batch and other types of executable files created under any user account on your computer. System Restore does not affect personal files, such as e-mail, documents, or photos, so it cannot help you restore a deleted file. If you have backups of your files, you can restore files from a backup.
Please answer us with the State to proceed to further troubleshooting.

I had a power failure and I learned today that there is a problem with the cache and I need to go to Preferences, purge the cache. I did this, but get the same error message every time I open the subsequent times of bridge.
Mac or PC? Version of the OS? What version of CS?
Have you tried to reset the bridge? CTRL (Windows) / Opt (Mac) + click on the bridge to start icon and select open boxes.
Otherwise, you could manually delete the cache, but we need to know the answers to questions to say where he is.
